Jan Troell Tribute: A Master Shares His Everlasting Moments

August 31, 2008

After 40 years of outstanding filmmaking, Jan Troell represents, as well as any other filmmaker, the richness of Scandinavian film. Since the premiere, in 1966, of his coming-of-age tale HERE IS YOUR LIFE, Troell has remained rooted in the culture, landscapes and storytelling modalities of Sweden. Watch as our 35th TFF Tributee receives his Silver Medallion from Film critic Richard Schickel, and then talks inspiration with Festival friend, Milos Stehlik.
